BA WM5 today plug-in slow - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

When I switch my BA off and then back on, it's really slow opening the start menu (after tapping it) if I have some today plug-ins installed (like resco today or pocket plus) ...
With no plug-ins it runs perfectly
I'm running my BA at 530 (XCPUScalar) but at 400 it happens the same thing.
Am I the only one to experience this BA behaviour?

SUMMITER: Cingular Rom Help

Summiter, I reflashed for the 4th time and am still having the problem so here goes:
I flashed using the newest rom thatyou listed in your other post.
Rom Version: 2.17.7.2 WWE
Rom Date: 2/10/06
Radio Version: 02.07.10
Protocol Version: 413.1.03
Programs installed:
Splashdata SplashBlog for PocketPC
My Company PPCDJ
TranCreative Magic Button
Agilemobile.com Agile Messanger
Resco Registry Add-in
Resco FTP Add-in
Resco Explorer 2003
Zoki A2DP
FdcSoft PPCContactsMgr
ammar Wireless Today Plugin
Smartskey
This is what happens:
When my phone comes back from standby or even at random times, but specifically standby, If i press the mail button, the title bar appears along with the softkeys changing as if it opened up the messaging application. However the background is still the today screen or whatever was under it. If i exit out of it through magic button or smartskey it goes away then i can hit it again and it comes back.
I have set up cingular ispda and gmail, i havent done any registry hacks. This is far less than what ive run the last few times this has happened.
It's annoying but i can live with it if you tell me i have to. Thanks for your help with all this.
I can almost guarantee it is being caused by one of the programs you have installed. This doesn't sound like a ROM issue.
I can go one step further. I have had this occur on every ROM I have used. If memory serves it was the most infrequent on the imate 2.16 ROM. From your list we only have the 2.17 ExtROM and Resco in common, but I don't think either of those cause this. Unfortunately, I don't think any ROM flash will eliminate it completely.
actually the software loaded is all different for this reflash. i didnt use any of these the last flash.
i have the same probl;em with my my mail button...the title bar changes and the today screen stays the same...it bothered me at first but i just tap onthe messages tab on the today screen and it takes me to my messages, i dont even notice anymore.
n
Uninstall the Ammar Today Screen app and see if that changes things.
S
The same thing happens to me. I'm running the latest summiter rom, and I just got the motorola stereo bluetooth headphones and the a2dp works flawlessly and the device is stable, but the mail button gives me title bar and softkeys but I still see Today screen. If I tap the mail line on the screen all is well. I have spb pocket plus, pocket weather, smartskeys, memmaid, quotrek, netfront 3.3 trial.
i removed ammar and it still happens.
Also my calls disconnect after 5 minutes and my ring tone stutters and doesnt vibrate when i get a call in standby.

WM5 Upgrading experiences... and some questions...

OK, after finally getting my BA perfect with 2003SE, I decided to take the plunge last night and upgrade to TuMa's 1.4 WM5 ROM...
All went well until this morning when I couldn't get the phone app to work, at all!
So I did a HR and all was fine, I added all my trusty apps, including TomTom, Vito SmartMap and Vito Navigator II and they all worked... I even got my i.Tech BT Stereo Headset to work in both handsree and stereo headset mode... while connected to my Fortuna ClipOn GPS with both TomTom and Navigator II!!!!
I realised this afternoon that I hadn't installed Pocket Informant so I tried... and tried... and tried...
Then I realised that I was missing something... I didn't resize my Ext_ROM on my initial upgrade and it was unlocked using the XDA tool on this site, so I had 43 Meg Storage Memory, 96 Meg Program Memory and the 16 Meg Ext_ROM... or at least I did when I first flashed it! After this mornings flash there was no Ext_ROM to be seen!!
I am now in the process of Downgrading back to 2003SE as I understand the Unlock tools only work in that OS... I think I'm going to take the plunge now, resize my storage to 60 Meg, and reinstall TuMa's ROM, in my opinion it is awesome!!
In short I had:
Working Wi-Fi
Working BT (Including Voice Dialling) (No Unrequested Powerups either!)
Working A2DP
Working MMS
Working GPRS
And a much nicer interface, and to be honest once all the apps were loaded, I didn't really see it as any slower than 2003SE with the same burden of software, I run:
Wisbar Advance 2
SBSH Pocket Breeze
SBSH Contact Breeze
Spb Pocket Plus
Spb Weather
Spb GPRS Monitor
Spb Time
Resco File Explorer
Resco Audio Recorder
Pocket Informant 2005
Photo Contacts Pro
Skype
IM+
TomTom 5.21
SmartMap 3.51
Navigator II 1.31
and various games, and the only app which dragged at all was TomTom, but that was only on startup, once it was running it was fine...
My only dilemma now is are any of the other ROMS cleaner or faster? I tend to use Resco File Explorer rather than Total Commander, and Wisbar as opposed to VBar... so really the apps TuMa has supplies are a waste of space for me (even though they are in the ROM, I know!)... I've heard that Ivan R4.3 is speedy, but do any of them have the WiFi/BT stuff working as well as TuMa's?
Loads of info, and loads of questions I know, but I'm just so goddam excited!! I really wasn't expecting much from WM5, and I have so been pleasantly surprised!!
Slainté,
tekno
Wifi and bluetooth working nice in ivans version, i have no problems since using it
Cool, I've just got that one from the ftp site... off to flash now, I've heard it's faster, do I need to increase my storage to 60MB or can this one support Ext_ROM? I notice an older one of Ivan's did...
Slainté,
spkr4thdd
All ivans releases have a working Extrom, so get togehter the cabs on your PC, check how much space they take up then flash the Extrom to slightly larger (eg i have 19mb of cabs and 20mb of extrom) that way you will get the most storage space and still fit all your cabs in the extrom.

Has anyone noticed a slowness after installing SPB Pocket Plus?

I noticed my device is slower in particular when pressing buttons on the screen. Anyone else have that issue?
thanks
no problems here
Neither here, its quicker now that i can acess all my apps.
nope, works great... did you install it on the device or the card? I have on the device.
Only had this issue when I had the HTC Home plug-in on aswell as Pocket Plus
I've been using Pocket Plus for a couple of months and have had no problems with slowdown. The only time I noticed a drop in responsiveness was when I installed one of the Touchflo Cube apps - back to normal once I removed it.
so its not advisable (in terms of speed) to run spb p+ with the cube then? are there any other conflicts running spb on the tytn II? (eg running it with Dutty's v4 or with another app eg ce star)... cheers

I've been running Ultimatelaunch for about a month (unregistered) with no stability issues.
Try searching here. They have answered a lot of questions. If you don't find it then post. They are pretty good about getting you an answer.
no issue for me I use it with SPB mobile shell , pocket plus, pocket weather, rltoday
Do not put today plugins inside UL and on the today screen at the same time .... that causes me problems

Yeah, make sure all today plugins that you want INSIDE the Ultimate Launch are UNCHECKED to be on your Today Screen.

I am using PhoneAlarm on the Today Screen and the following inside of Ultimate Launch
Weather Panel
Battery Status
Today Agenda
Seems to work with one exception.
If I go to Mail, open the keyboard (Rotate Screen) then go to the today screen and close the keyboard, INSTANT LOCKUP. If I stay in mail, and go back to the closed position, I am fine.... Otherwise seems to be working.
i have been having problems too... since i installed UL my user interface has been extremely lagging. and i have tried all kinds of ways to get it working perfectly like how everyone says it works.
a lot of people says it works perfectly with out anything, but wheni have it installed it laggs up unbelievably...
i even have to put a back up until the latest time in order to get everything working.
hi,
i´m using ul for 2 month now and everything works fine! i use todayagenda and htc home inside ul and the wireless today plugin above and my mailprogram (tobit david) among ul.

To device memory of course!
Never install Today Plugins to your Storage Card, that can cause problems!
Hi there guys,
been searching if anybody had the following problem, then i stumbled on this thread, where somebody might be able to help me.
I had a qtek 9100 before with ultimatelaunch, with today plugins in ultimatelaunch. This worked perfectly, nothing wrong.
Recently, i purchased a Kaiser (to be precise, a T-mobile MDA Vario 3), on which i tried to run Ultimatelaunch. Everything works fine, except after i launched an application & go back to the today screen. When i run tomtom for example, and i go back to the today screen, the ultimatelaunch part is not automatically refreshed. If i just press in the area once, its redrawn. Does anybody have the same issue, or even better, a suggestion on how to solve it?
thnx in advance,
greetings hawkeye
out of curiosity what did you guys put in your UL, app wise?
My system backs up nightly and I soft reset after every backup. I believe this eliminates many issues with my system.
After 3 weeks of testing, I do not have lockups with this combination.

does anyone find that activating the htc home screen on start up cause problems? or better yet does anyone have any tabs that they activate on start up?
also having problems when using home customizer. it seems to freeze ultimatelaunch for some reason
HTC Home works fine for me.
All my tabs (just three), have activate on startup enabled.
Tab1
PocketBreeze
Tab2
PocketPlus
Tab3
HTC Home (only weather tab is shown)

Problem is that HHC check if HTC Home Plugin is enabled at startup.
Because it thinks it's not, it starts HHC. After making changes, it will try to copy changed file's to HTC Home directory. Because HTC Home is loaded into Ultimate Launch that will fail, and make Ultimate Launch crash!
Best for you to do is, disable Ultimate Launch on your today screen, start HHC and make changes to plugin, then after applying re-enable Ultimate Launch. (Uncheck HTC Home, it's auto enabled trough HHC.)
That should work for you.

Opera/Task manager bug?

Hi all,
I have tried this many times on WiFi- when I close Opera Browser by tapping and holding "x" icon my Diamond gets very slow, and I can't open Opera again, can't send/receive mails etc (very long time when applications react). Device runs after it like very little memory, but task manager shows f.e. 51% It happens even after softreset and running Opera. But... When I minimize Opera and then close it via Task Manager menu on Today Screen everything is ok and device is running normally. My ROM is 1.37.X.X. Can you check this and reply?
Thanks,
TomekJ
Hi TomekJ,
same here with MDA Compact IV (german T-Mobile) in Stock condition and with same ROM. I had no clues about the reason until your message. Now its clear. Seems like a bug (in Opera?).

Problem partly solved
Hi,
I made some tests - in my case, when TF3D is on everything is ok, but when I disable it on today screen bug appear...
